Testimonials
"The book is much more than a chronicle of Swiss-Bhutanese relations. It is an invaluable addition to the library of anyone interested in Bhutan, individuals and institutions alike. I thoroughly enjoyed the original and thought-provoking texts, as well as the many rare images of the country in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, some of which are published here for the first time. This is a major contribution to our understanding of Bhutan’s socio-economic development, as seen through the eyes and words of Bhutanese and Swiss people that took active part in it. On a more personal note, the book reminded me that my passion for Bhutan started back in the late 1960s after watching on Italian television a Swiss-made documentary about Bhutan. Thanks to the Swiss, then, and thanks to the Swiss-Bhutan Association for bringing out this first-class volume."
Romolo Gandolfo, President Greece-Bhutan Friendship Association

"It is indeed a fine contribution, well organized and lushly illustrated ... beautifully designed."
